- Amiga port of Xlife 2.0
- .description
- AXlife is based on Xlife, the definitive life program, which runs
- under the X-Windows graphical interface (which overlays UNIX). AXlife
- incorporates an Amiga-specific interface, but the basic generation
- code remains the same as in Xlife 2.0. AXlife can also read files
- produced by Al Hensel's IBM PC program 'Life', which has a very
- similar format. The most important feature of Xlife (and AXlife) is
- that, unlike most life programs, it does not limit the pattern to the
- size of the screen. Xlife does not think in terms of a rectangular
- grid, but instead considers the pattern to be composed of 8x8 boxes
- containing active life elements. This allows Xlife to cope with
- arbitrarily large patterns (up to a maximum size of 2^32 by 2^32 (2^32
- = 4,294,967,296)). AXlife comes with a large (219) library of example
- patterns.
